Is there a quote you live by? “There’s one that I love from Hamlet by Shakespeare. I was on stage when this line was spoken and I just always used to hold on to it. It’s in the middle of the speech that Polonius (who played my dad) says to Laertes and Ophelia which is: ‘This above all: to thine ownself be true’. And it’s part of a massive speech about his advice about life. But I think ‘Know who you are and be true to yourself’, I sort of try and stick by that when I can.”

"The movie establishes that there are no white saviours there to make things better. Belle is forced to do that for herself, and it’s her journey in educating herself and trying to convince her chief justice uncle to vote against the legality of the slave trade that makes the film more fascinating than most films in this genre." — Zeba Blay, TIFF 2013 Review on Belle.
